Another fast-paced episode leaving me questioning everything! Seeing Boomer wake up drenched and confused, with explosives missing, threw me off balance (also my lights kept flickering which seemed to add to the drama of that entire scene haha). I think what I'm starting to love about this show is how much it plays with identity and hidden threats. The characters are even starting to question themselves and each other- for very good reason. I can't wait to get into the next! Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/dn_OqAWsdasI watched this on Amazon Prime (because copyright protection is apparently EVERYWHERE even in my recording software 🤣)

Get used to the fast paced part of this show. A lot of episodes move fast! Usually a show will have a sophomore episode slump but not BSG! From the moment the episode starts you are pulled in by what’s going on with Sharon (Boomer). Her taking the detonators and C4 without realizing she did is insanely scary! I can’t wait till next week when episode 3 releases on my birthday. It’s one of my favorites and I have a LOT to say about it. Edit: Hopefully we can figure out the Blu-Ray situation by the time you get to the episode Pegasus so you can possibly react to the extended episode. Maybe I can ask Funny!ilGalReacts or Carmen Young how they were able to watch the extended episode and not have the issue you had. Edit 2: Really we gotta figure out the OBS problem for Razor and The Plan cause you can’t rent them on Amazon and they aren’t available anywhere (legally). Could you use your PS4/5 to capture the Blu-Ray through OBS?

I also love how it seems Boomer might be trying to fight against her own programming while still maybe not realising she's a sleeper agent. Like a battle of 2 subconsciouses. A Chief's loyalties are really beginning to be tested.

Good call looking away from the drums :)

That has to be the worst part of being a reactor. Having to wait until next week to watch the next episode when you're chomping at the bit to watch more and have access to it. In a way though, that gives you the experience of when it was current, we had to wait until the next week to see the next episode. Not much to say other than that, it has been so long since I watched the series that I'm vaguely remembering things as they happen.

You know, I never even considered the DVD copyright, but as soon as you mentioned it, it made perfect sense LOL. It seems all roads lead back to Prime hahaha. Oh well, I know you love this series so much that you'll want to watch it again on your own time, and then you can take advantage of all the DVD extra features! I really love the power-dynamic between Adama and Roslin! Especially how they started off butting heads, and doubting each other. Especially Adama's view of the President. But getting to see them both coexist as leaders and share perspectives is both really interesting and enlightening To build off what you said about Boomer having to tell others that she's a Cylon sleeper agent, I'm just thinking how hard it must also be to tell yourself. We obviously don't know how much Boomer realizes, but imagine living your whole life thinking you're a human only to realize it was all a lie. Has to be so rough. Love this show for all the deep questions it raises already!

There has to be a way around that! Both FunnyLilGalReacts and Carmen Young both watched the extended version of Razor and the extended versions of certain episodes and you can only do that with the DVD/Blu-Ray set. So there just has to be a way!

Another good episode. Thanks, Kali! My only theory in addition to what you said in your outro is that "Caprica Boomer" is fully Cylon, as you say, and is perhaps using Helo to find any remaining human guerilla groups on Caprica. Maybe? BTW, just after the series left Prime, the streaming versions were full price ($35 for season one and $40 each for the rest), so I bought the full DVD set for about $60. During your intro to this episode, you repeated the comment about the streaming versions being on sale, so I checked again, and, sure enough, they're now only $7 per season. Oh, well... it's only money... 🫤 I *was* able to play the DVDs (on Windows 11 Pro) using a standard USB DVD drive in conjunction with the open source software VLC Media Player. (Just to clarify, this is legal software and hardware.) OTOH, I'm not using OBS, so perhaps that would still be a problem with your setup? If you try this, I can pass along any configuration settings if necessary. Just let me know...

When are you dropping Star wars episode 6/VI

Brina Blue

I don't know if anyone has suggested this to you yet, but it makes things much easier if you call the Cylon with Helo on Caprica "Sharron" and the one on the Galactica "Boomer. " I'm really looking forward to two episodes a week!

Damn Boomer.
